His Majesty King Abdullah on Sunday stressed his support for the projects the Hashemite Fund for Badia Development plans to implement in the future, underlining the importance of linking the outcomes to citizens' needs.

During a meeting with the chairman and members of the board of trustees of the fund, the King called for a study to be carried out on the allocation of lands fit for planting to enable badia residents to implement income-generating ventures under the fund's supervision.

The King also expressed hope that the fund's projects would be implemented within the coming months.
